“I heard it from a friend of mine who does tabloids.” Song Wei didn’t bat an eyelid. Even if she couldn’t remember anything, this was the moment when the gamble was about who was more composed.
Liu Shiying was still testing her. “How much does she know?”
Song Wei said, “Basically, it’s all clear.”
Liu Shiying’s gaze wavered as she sighed lightly. Her attitude seemed to have softened a little. “Where did she take the photos? Why didn’t she expose it?”
Song Wei still replied calmly, “No matter how much the bonus from a piece of news is, it’s not as much as hush money. Isn’t that right?”
Liu Shiying said, “Get your friend to talk to me. I’m easy to talk to about the hush money.”
However, Song Wei shook her head. “You haven’t agreed to cooperate with me and Sky Palace. I can’t possibly negotiate with you.”
Liu Shiying’s gaze was burning as she finally looked at Song Wei. “As an assistant of a jewelry designer, you’re pretty gutsy. You actually dare to negotiate terms and conditions with me, too.”
“Before we reach an agreement to work together, you aren’t paying for my salary. Why should I be afraid of you?” Song Wei still maintained that gentle and natural smile.
Even a female celebrity with such a powerful aura like Liu Shiying could not seem to gain any advantages in front of her.
However, Liu Shiying did not relax her stance immediately. “I have to confirm exactly what pictures she took after all. If you really know about them, can you describe the scene back then?”
“I remember that it was taken at the entrance of the Imperial Sky Hotel. You and Ye Xingchen left the hotel one after another and got into the same MPV car two streets later.”
Actually, Song Wei was partially recalling and making it up on the spot for the other half. Even if she made a mistake with the story, she could also say that she remembered it wrongly instead.
As long as Liu Shiying could not determine whether she was telling the truth or not, she would have a chance to win this gamble.
However, Liu Shiying’s gaze suddenly rippled as her gaze landed on Song Wei. “This is what your friend told you?”
“I’ve forgotten some details, but I remember that it was at the entrance of the Imperial Sky Hotel.”
Liu Shiying asked again, “I’ve always been very cautious. I definitely didn’t do anything intimate with Ye Xingchen. If this is all that you people took photos of, I can totally explain that I was sending a friend back along the way.”
Song Wei said without thinking, “But it’s a fact that both of you deliberately left the hotel at different times and got into the same MPV after making a detour. Even if you didn’t make any intimate motions, it can still prove that you guys have a deep relationship.”
When Liu Shiying heard this, she suddenly laughed. It was a lighthearted and mocking laugh. “I don’t know which unreliable source you heard about this name Ye Xingchen from, but I can be certain that you don’t know the inside story at all.”
“…” Song Wei’s heart skipped a beat. She knew that her words just now had definitely blown her cover.
Liu Shiying didn’t give her any chance to argue at all and let the staff outside in. “Get her to scram. I’m not interested in cooperating with Sky Palace anymore.”
The assistants were obviously a little surprised as well. They hesitated while asking, “Sister, then should we still send her to the police station?”
Liu Shiying paused and glanced at Song Wei. “Just tell her to get lost herself.”
“…”
“This is my greatest mercy to you, and I also hope that you won’t mention that name to anyone else in the future.” With that said, she waved her hand in extreme annoyance, indicating that she did not want to see Song Wei ever again.
Hence, within a short 20 minutes, she was thrown out of the door once more.
Whoa, what the heck?! When had she ever suffered such a disadvantage?!
At this moment, a call came from Jiang Mingxu.
For a person of few words like him, it was truly a miracle that he could make two calls in a day.
However, Song Wei was feeling upset; hence, her tone lacked interest as a result when she picked up the phone. “Hello? What’s the matter?”
“Did it go smoothly?” A voice that sounded constantly a little cold traveled from the other end.
When Song Wei heard this question, the knot between her eyebrows tightened even more. “It didn’t go well. I’m still thinking of ways to resolve this.”
Jiang Mingxu paused for a moment. “You have to be back within five days.”
Song Wei was a little puzzled. When did Jiang Mingxu become her supervisor? Even Luo Lisha had yet to give such a forceful order.
“Five days? Why?”
“I can only bear with it for five days.”
“…” Song Wei was originally still immersed in her worries about how to solve her problem. When she regained her senses, her face instantly flushed red completely. “Young Master Jiang… did you call just to say this?”
“Why can’t I?”
“…sure.”
“You must repay what you owe me.”
Jiang Mingxu’s voice was clearly still as indifferent as ever, but it also seemed to have a magical power that gave birth to many small ‘hooks’ and ‘hooked’ people’s hearts1.
“…” Song Wei silently cursed inwardly about how beauty could hold up one’s work before hanging up the phone cruelly.
She had to finish her work and go home as soon as possible!
